Looking to learn more about passive-aggressive behaviour and potential ideas to manage it? Amy Gallo, best-selling author of Getting Along, and I discussed this on Episode 73 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast, which is now available.

Amy told me "What causes it often is fear. You really want to try to focus on what's the underlying message … You have to do a little bit of investigative work, what is it they're actually trying to say? Can you do what Heidi Grant, describes as hypothesis testing? Let's say you tell me, you're fine with the way this strategy is going but I can tell that there's a little bit of heat in those comments … I could test that hypothesis and say, I hear what you're saying, but I get the sense that you have a few concerns. I really need to hear those before we move forward. When would be a good time to talk through those concerns?".
